these anarchists want
"Anarchy is Liberty" wrote Par
sons in his last days. What did he
mean by liberty
1t has long been q maxim of philos-
ophy that the liberty Of the indlvid.
ual is limited by the rights Of his fel-
lows. Law and government are found
ed on this principle. The question
exactly at what point the rights Of
others begin is one Of practical states
munshlp. The condition of political
adjustment vary with the varying
answers to this question. But the
phil, 8 l,hjca! Lor,.lne Of the lmlta.
ton of liberty underlies all the or.
sanization of society.
1t is just this Limitation that anar.
chy would destroy. There should be
no artificial restriction on the individ.
ual will. Whatever IS right in his
own eyes. that should each man do.
There should be no law, no govern.
ment, no administration Of Justice.
What would result
In the first place, the individual
would have no protection from cupid
| ity and malice but in his own might
Each must defend himself from VIC:
! leucp and robbery. 1t is hardly to be
supposed that the abolition Of law
would recreate human nature and
eradicate every evil passion. Such
passions would merely be unchecked.

vanish. But without security, com.
mprce would vanish also. Trade,
manufactures, all the multltauous
! appliances Of production and dlstrlbu-
tion. are based on the protection or
law. Remove that protection Of law.
Remove that protection and clvlllza-
ton is resolved into its elements. lt
would not take many years Tor society
to return to the dark ages.
We should then be like herd OF
Wild animals. Force would be the
only rule. Literature, art, refinement
Of any KIND would he lost.
This is what anarchy and mAlllsm
really meav. Read the words OF Ba-
kunin, the Russian nlhil!st:
